fishyfranky 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 Call me a rebel (or clueless newbie) but I use regular Coats & Clark sewing thread for everything. Mind you, I tie fishing flys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

getholdofjoru 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 I don't differentiate between threads, basically use a 3/0 for smaller flies and a 210 for larger. It's all in how you train your fingers to react to the pressure you put on the bobbin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
salmosalar 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 I am tying hundrerds of Bugs each year and using only UNI Thread 6/0. Kevlar is also very good because it is not waxed! Jacques Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
